wife had a baby boy boxing last week and
uh this morning we had the breed so uh
it should only be smart only happy
occasions and we're back with a very
very special guest for everybody and
we're going to be discussing tonight the
revolution of hasirus which is uh
sounding very very exciting but before
we get to the topic
Roberta a very very dear friend and I'm
so excited the rabbi's with us could you
just tell the oil in the world a little
bit about yourself and about the Holy
work of Mickey you say that you're
involved with
before I talk about myself let me just
talk about you for a minute it's such a
similar of the whole family when you
have a simulator we're all happy and I
was thinking that you know it's a spider
dick Moses and you named your baby Iron
lay partially after evalux Steinman so
you got the literature and despite them
so we gotta talk about so see this you
know we can't leave
we already had a hand in establishing 95
mcvise you know of the mixer and and
viruses Hashem that we helped out a
little and that's luck over there about
Hashem we all know about and it's great
to be able to be part of it and to be uh
to be you know get new friends and new
suits them and new partners and
spreading to hiring quality so and uh
it's wonderful but Hashem okay beautiful
yes I know very well that uh not were
you not that you make video say helped a
little bit if it wasn't for me USA then
mickville would still not be ready so
we're forever grateful for that but not
only that Community but all communities
I know that many communities have told
me that it wasn't for McPherson they
would not have a makeup in their
community so cloudy so the Jewish people
everyone should be very thankful to you
and do your entire amazing staff and and
team and make videos say that do
unbelievable well is that to show we're
going to have a whole class of fusion
tour talking magician with the rabbi
about Tara about Mikvah but tonight as
we said the topic is Revolution
what did Casitas revolutionize Rabbi
let's jump into it
you know it's a great question I want to
tell you a story it was a new saline it
was a Hasidic too his name was not a
sandwich
his name was and there was a literacy
Eid also a great man in Islam he took
about like a couple of greatest people
that Jerusalem had to offer his name is
Revel tragic and one time he's going
walking down the street and he meets
them not to save it and he says
before hasidus the Canadian was empty
the paradise was empty there was no
Sadiq in there what happened before the
receding came around like what it
hasidis really
what did they what was the lose in
hasidus so he says like this before
hasidus came around the Canadian wasn't
empty but rasidis came and gave it a
good schmuck he gave the Canadian
against Schmucks they put in a schmuck
into things that was one of the main
things the main messages of casidis to
serve Hashem with simcha to put in the
simsa and avoid this Hashem into Villa
everything to have a upbeat positive
attitude you know I'm reminding myself
now that the Tanya says that if someone
is not only if he's in the middle of
davening and he gets like thoughts that
you know you sinned and you did this and
you did that not only because the middle
of divine learning even if it's a middle
of a business deal and it comes into
such thoughts of our various he should
know that that's the eight Sahara yet
our eyes is into that and and that's the
Cedars because see this is to try to
bring in the avoidance into life be
happy be happy with your Shabbos be
happy with your caduceu with whatever we
have we should be happy and don't focus
on the downside of things now because
see this really is like I would say
maybe there's like a two-pronged thing
because we find it by the valcenter he
had like the greatest coming of the
greatest
that it was in the generation and they
were into the Kabbalah as we see in this
for him many uh like focused on Kabbalah
and part of the message of course even
says to bring Kabbalah into everyday
life I mean it's not only the concepts
of learning Kabbalah which uh many
places learned it but even people that
don't learn Kabbalah is certain things
of Kabab foreign
like even some of that's Anonymous but
he knows like you know everybody will
ask every boy you'll ask because I see
the boy is something that's neatitis you
know the Sparks of godliness that there
is in the food that we have you know
there's certain Concepts that we did
well Santa brought into everybody life
even for plain people and so it's really
a two-pronged revolution there was a
revolution of the the the
greats of the Hasidic Masters that was
uh massive that you know it became like
a real Revolution from the balcantov and
the afros and Margate will speak later
maybe a little about it and then there
was for the masses the masses were
introduced to a new type of avoid the to
to know no one ever spoke to them how
how worthy they are how should there are
that everyone has their nishama everyone
have this Soul everyone has a fire
burning in their hearts and even if
you're you know you're not the Thomas
And even if you're worse than that even
if you're someone that you know felt
Falls in sometimes to the ETC you have a
good in you and you got to keep it up
and don't get fooled don't get to Broken
by yourself don't get broken don't let
that it's her break you and that's
probably one of the greatest things that
Casitas brought in but really uh you
know when I was asked this book you know
we were speaking about the topic of the
casino is such a broad it's like ask
yourself and you know talk about
medicine you know so I think tonight
we'll try to focus more on the Polish I
see this the Poland the hasidus of
Poland you know we're talking about the
great masters of the belshant if you
look into the hakadama into the preface
of a savior from the Magid of misery
was like the the main parliament of the
placenta the disciple of the basant that
they really took over his place and if
you you look at the academic day he has
atonement a great helmet in his own
right and he writes his conversations
that he had with the magida the Magi
told him how the basantis knew he knew
all the things from the Ari of how he
understood the language of the birds he
understood the language of the trees he
had gileo yelio used to be magal himself
to him and and these were you know great
great people so the the talmud asked
about Shem asked the magadiv
asked his Rich so so you told me Ravi
that if Hashem taught you everything so
you should also be able to notice he
says
I should
rabbit the screen stopped for a second
are you still there rabbi
yes I'm here we hear you Rabbi yeah we
hear you but we don't see you perfect
so what I mean to say is that it's like
the really it was a revolution for the
great and a revolution for the masses I
mean today we'll focus on the Casitas in
Poland so rabbit maybe you can
familiarize us with some of the leaders
of the Hasidic uh community in Poland
yeah so really it went like this it was
about Center it wasn't that many
students but the one that really was
like uh took over the teaching and
establishing the new students and to the
next generation was the magnet of Ms
Rich the magnet of Madrid I remember who
one of the Sadiq and said that the
sinner went from mesbridge to misrich
that means that he took over the
leadership of the hasidus he made them
and one of you hear me we hear you Rabbi
yeah but uh the screen once again
he's working on it
um one of the town meeting was called
Legends which um he probably heard of
the name of everyone goes them and his
favorite medical events was like you
know he was considered one of the
greatest comedian of the Miss Richard
maggot and by and he had many students
one of his students was the khiza of
Lublin
now
the rabbis of the Next Generation in
Poland and Galicia which is also like
next upon it was were his thumb even
were his disciples I'm talking about the
Rapture and of all types you know they
were all his comedian and he had a
talmud that was called The Holy Jew he
was called
and he even started to lead a following
when his Rebel was still living when the
Heiser of Lublin was still liberal now
the place of labelin himself was the
reason why he's called faiza is because
he was able to see his
he was able to see in very far places he
said Mustafa Island about sci-fi so in
he was like revert you know they used to
say that in Galicia he was like moisture
avenu you know what I mean he was like
looked up to it
he started uh leadership of his own
disciples he started when his gravity
was still living even that means he was
like one of the greatest comedian of the
khiza blue he had a student called the
rebrunam of pushes and our main focus
tonight will be on him
just to get an idea of those that know a
little of playlists of the Poland
facilities in Poland they the was his
disciple his talmud the fiduciary of
gear was his Parliament the the
Alexander Alexander was his town at
rabbitical worker these are all
dynasties that you know came out from
these are all his students the greatest
dynasties in Poland are his students and
more or less will focus on the
riverabunum of precious tonight yeah
um the reason is set on them just we
should get an idea who we're talking
about there isn't a set on him that he
was younger than than all of the
students but he was greater than all the
students of the Kaiser so we're talking
about like you know real I don't think
it was much Magnus on
had much snagness there was a much
opponents there were many opponents to
the way of the system there was a
certain Lunas in his he was like there
was an original
uh an original way of thinking an
original way of serving Hashem they have
a bunnymouth himself really was a he was
a cipher they used to say that between
the suffering he was a merchant he was a
pharmacist
um they used to say between the business
people he's accused and between the Sid
them is a cipher so you know he had like
he was a worldly and he his main yeah he
was he was very very revered in uh
so Rabbi vashuski what was the the
message that Pacifica tried to convey
like what was his main uh message
okay it's hard to say uh to pinpoint it
first of all let's talk about the verbum
a little more for a minute his comment
was
comes out of revitsaka
worker was his talmud and someone once
asked him what are you so busy with your
Rebel like you know you make him like
you know what do you he said I have to
tell you something internet we see that
eliola now became to to Elisa
he was like a farm
he was he was someone that had the Hamas
he had animals and uh he had a farm and
he was busy with his animals like a
shepherd and Alicia and eliola Navi came
and took his cloak with zadarius and
threw it on Alicia and all of a sudden
Alicia he took his not and he took his
behemoths and he chested his name as he
slaughtered the Bahamas and he gave it
out to the towns people he took the
calim that he had and he went and burned
the farm the farm uh utensils he burned
them that's what it says and then he
took the meat and he gave it out to all
the towns people and he ran after ldo
and Elio is asking him now love
what did I do to you so he answers them
CeCe look he says what do you mean what
is it he ran to his parents and he said
goodbye to his parents and he ran after
ldo and that's how it was to Elio went
and the only one he was like
and he got a double portion of
spirituality when he saw a Leo and Avi
going to heaven
desirableka that's how
when he took his his talmud when he took
a plain person's hand into his hand that
man had a total change in his in his
life he had a total change he lit a fire
in his heart he was ready you know he
was ready to kiss Hashem he got so the
person got so inflamed with the having
sashem that he went to look for Hashem
wherever he could that was that that was
there Abraham he was able to bring in a
fire in people's hearts to have ladies
Hashem
and when they asked David
what is who he had a friend of each of
the worka that was a great man but he
was a snug at the terrible he was an
opponent to the new uh revolution in
Portland hasidis and he used to talk
badly on maybe it's like a work another
answer then even though he was a student
of so it would have been like you know
he should have answered and stuck up for
his rebbe he never stuck up for Israeli
and they asked him if he took a burqa
why didn't he stick up how could you be
quiet when he's embarrassing and
insulting a rubbish he says I gotta tell
you a story what happened I was once on
the road and a guy passes by and he
looks me in the face and he looks and
looks and looks and I'm looking at him
what are you looking at and he doesn't
answer me he goes further all of a
sudden from the same direction someone
else comes running and he looks at me
and he looks and looks and looks and
then he gives a scream to the guy it's
him it's him and okay I don't know what
to do then all of a sudden a lady comes
running a lady with some other people
and she says yeah yeah it's him it's him
it's my husband
so they started cursing me because this
lady's husband left her for many years
and she was an aguna she was alone and
they it was so many years that he had
some similarity in his face to this uh
to this person and they started cursing
him you rush uh you live alone your wife
and they started hitting him and cursing
him and they brought him to the road he
should give the guess he says did I have
any
kindness did I have anything in my heart
against all these people I knew that
it's a mistaken identity I didn't they
the them
it's embarrassing someone else they
don't know that it's a mistaken identity
so he says when they talk on my rabbit
it's a mistaken identity it's been that
Expo they don't know him
so that was that was their baboon and
someone that it was possible not to know
now that we could say that maybe the
hasidus of was to use all their
capabilities use all your your wisdom
you usually if you have you know uh
commemorship people will serve Hashem
they were just the opposite the common
were the most corruptured why because
they used all the hathmas don't be you
know everyone has their Hoffman you know
it doesn't turn the radio it says that
there's someone I think that Ibrahim
says this uh this thing
that he met a person and the person said
anything we told the person one two one
tell you he says I don't have any wisdom
I don't have coffee I don't understand
but she said what do you do for a living
He said I'm a fisherman I I go for I
catch fish how do you make your nets
what do you mean how actually shows them
how you make a net and how you just and
what else do you do how do you know when
to throw down the the net and so on and
so on
is trying to tell him that each of us
has his capabilities we just lazy to use
it for avoid this Hashem and our way to
do things is to use your greatest
to reach Communists that means we have
to realize this that
means the plane uh accepting being
straight a common being whole is not a
contradicting crossword just the
opposite the more a person is uses
the more common he is he's more
accepting of hashem's will that was
use all your cohes all your potential
all your strengths
used to serve Hashem and you should come
to such a madrega to realize that only
Hashem is the one that makes a
difference that being poor and being
rich should be the same by you to be
have honor and have embarrassment and
insult meaning should be the same by you
and to have pain and to be at peace
should also be the same at you that was
just come to my dragon to be so common
to you
to be so clear by yourself that Hashem
is the one that does the best for you
you should have such a Clarity in that
that you should be able to have common
theme I think that that's part of what's
of what shisha is all about unbelievable
wow amazing unbelievable
did all the tummy then all the students
of Pacifica go on the same path like
they're they're ready
no you have to understand that I'm just
uh that was uh like the worst thing you
could say that you gotta be like this
means literally that don't don't uh make
yourself I believe dessert don't make uh
now if that's that's what they used to
say if you tell someone you gotta do
this you have to dive in like this you
got to learn like this you have to do
assess it like this that's making a form
of a person you're abolishing your
individuality that was the opposite of
just the world that everyone has to find
himself
in find their own death and avoid this
Hashem that means that when they came to
Francisco when they came to the rebel
the thing was uh B magala revealed
what's inside me help me rabbit to take
off that dirt that's covering my soul
but that when the my soul my soul is my
soul and your soul is your soul you know
wise man once said life's so short don't
lick someone else's life
was to be individuality they used to say
that eggs of a chicken look all the same
but Stones uh when you come to Diamonds
each one has you'll ask that Maven he'll
be able to tell you right away you know
which one is like this that they're not
the same we're diamonds we're not
chicken eggs we gotta we have to realize
that that that this laptop just for us
there were people that used to dive in
quietly and the people that used to that
Scream by davony there were people that
used to learn the Ian you know in depth
and people that used to learn the kids
and there were people that learned more
and and were Isaac Moore and Tila in
prayer and then there were people that
uh well I said more entire you know
there was no uh there wasn't a form that
you had to follow every person had his
own way and that's when we look at them
you could see it so clearly the
cutscareba was like the extremist of the
extremist probably about all the rabbits
he was like the extreme he used to say
that horses walk in the middle
the men walk on the side if you want to
be if you want to walk in the middle and
not be an extremist you're a horse
you're a person that wants to get
somewhere he was an extremist he said
that you have to climb and and push
yourself all till the end he used to say
that's why because if someone would like
it even a little not him it was a
problem it was a major problem in cost
now worker which is a bitco worker and
he was best buddies with the cops could
have the best best bodies
I have a Cicero loving the Jews and they
were best buddies you know the cutscare
ever once came by the outside of rabuna
Matrix so he came to Trista to be at the
caver and he went he went out and he
meets his friend ravitza and he tells
him it's a you know that I'm not a
cavery I'm not someone that comes to
Graves you know why I came I came here
to meet you
and there were such good friends with
such different ways and avoid the sashem
and then you have uh again was tired
that was the main thing in the Toyota
and there was yes a middle way they
tried you know they were they used to be
my card of everyone gay was a much
larger cut Cuts was just the opposite
they chased away people kotsuki really
if someone that wasn't Cuts they used to
chase away people yeah it was not like
that guy was more like the regular and
it was Toyota and so everyone had their
own mahalas in
interest if I may say if I tell you he
says
it says
it was a war of medium and moisture of
any said how much you have to give
Hashem said you have to give one out of
50 your calls and one out of 500
everything to the mission to them and to
them and then there were people but you
know okay I gained some stuff at the war
so you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna
be monitor to the base of miktas is
they took from the Harem and they some
held more from themselves ish like they
didn't look at the other people how much
the other one gave is Loy every person
had his own he had his own husband his
own way of making a decision how much
sadaki he should give he didn't look how
much the other person is doing and
that's sister be yourself you know but
you used to make fun if someone was
dabbing like uh you know loud or
something and they felt that it wasn't
listening it wasn't totally truthful
that was the worst thing you had to be
truthful you could do whatever you want
as long as you mean it seriously you
don't do it to flout and to and you know
to be uh uh you know to just show people
they used to say like this if someone is
in the if someone's drowning yeah if
someone's drowning so what does he do he
waves his hand and he screams does
anyone have anything any kindness anyone
say hey what are you doing no everyone
understands it but if someone's standing
on the beach and they'll do the same
thing they'll say hey mister you're off
your Rockets what are you doing the same
thing is like that if someone feels in
pillar that he's that he is it's burning
in his eye and he screams and he and he
and he does you know that wants a story
with the Envision they used to dive in
quietly and someone once came to install
him it was Carlene they used to stop and
loud and scream and someone once came
like Wednesday he walks into the church
and he says listen I don't have way to
Daven I want to come down and Shop it's
by you but I have to scream because my
Rabbi and Stalin they Scream by The
Happening and I know that by you and in
your shoe they don't scream I just want
to ask permissions so to try to cover
episode no I don't give you permission
you can't scream and shoot and then what
happened to me is this was a good person
and he came to Sue with the intention of
being quiet the whole Avenue but in
Middle account to nishmas and he started
screaming
and then afterwards he got scared
because the charcoal is a great person
and he only let him come he told him
that he can't Scream by Damian so after
Chavez he goes into the truck with him
and he says I wanna I wanna ask for
forgiveness so he says what's the
problem he said because I screamed by
the Avenue
if you come Wednesday and you say You're
Gonna Scream by davening Shabbos that's
not okay but if you come Sabbath
that means it's the scream comes out of
you it's natural then it's fine but
don't come Wednesday and and you know
say the Trap Is Not Gonna Come and
scream don't make an appointment
was the main thing that you got to be
truthful and I'll just add one thing if
you give me the two three minutes let me
just add one thing
there was a great focus on the
truthfully at all khasidism had this
focus on simula
was very very focused on simranal okay
there's a story that someone he was a
side he was a merchant and uh he was
once by a ship and they were loading the
ship and a guy slipped off the ramp and
he slipped into the ocean and it was
there a little stormy and he was
drowning the guy was drowning and
everyone was standing on the on the on
the beach on the by the by the pier yeah
he was standing there
uh you send regards to the leviason
to the great fish don't forget send
regards them when you go and everyone
started laughing but then they started
being serious but then the guy all of a
sudden they saw the guy caught on to a
piece of wood and he saved himself
what did he do what is it he said I saw
that this demon is this guy is drowning
is something that takes away the dean
amount of person the the the judgments
on a person the bad judgments on a
person Sinister takes it away and it was
once a sick person that came through and
he told them you know my son is so sick
he's someone there Alexander ever came
my son is so sick I I all the doctors
are giving up on him so he said I don't
have an answer for you I don't have
advice for you I don't have this one
thing I can tell you that will help if
you'll be the Sims then it will help so
he went out and he bought vodka and
bourbon and what else this scotch and
and he bought meat and he came he took
together a bunch of hasidim and they
made a big suit and they were all happy
and the guy writes in the distance of
his young girl that my son had a report
because
that's going to give them and you know
what he said even this is a bomb he says
how come we see that
you know the from is they don't have so
much
like the like the plane like the
harmonium like the amiratsam like the
ignoramus and the ones that aren't so
holy slowly why do we see that he says
you know why because they're more simple
even though they're not so airlift
they're not so uh holy like the like the
city but as you see them because they're
so entered avoid is a shame they forget
to be the simsa and that's why they
don't have rhinocer so much if they
would have more similar then they would
have more panelsa so I guess it's a it's
a great thing it's also not from Dera
bread from the green he says that the
person says
after the sin of the eagle they said
they didn't put the crowns on their head
clients rolled off their crowns
and they were warning so he says the
River from a bleed that was the main
angle
the main thing was that afterwards they
lost their faith in themselves
they didn't realize they still have a
crown they forgot that I still have a
crown I still have I'm still I'm still
not worthless and that was the main sin
that got them down it was after the ego
was the main sin amazing I love this
topic of civil Club happiness and even
though we have to always serve Hashem
with happiness and the time is getting a
little bit late Rabbi so we're gonna
jump into the last and final question
which is a final message rabbi
to put it all together to sum it all
together of uh of tonight's topic or in
general for our broader audience every
time
so
I'll sum it up maybe with this
and then we'll just say one more thing
about Machias and it's over 60 Seconds
says which is Poland Poland what's the
license
like the two worst things that you know
till today those are the two main
challenges that we could say is kadusha
andamuna but someone fell into that he's
says he says
he says is a lotion of tatir when we say
kosher um tying up and on time the Lysa
suru your afraid of Afghan you fell into
this you fell into clearer
don't untie The Knack that you have with
Hashem don't get untied from Hashem you
got to keep the castle keep that Caster
with Hassan and then we'll just finalize
with a vote about mashiach that Abraham
said that he could have you have to
understand what went on and just the day
it was a holy Factory it's just him with
his tell me then there was a fire like
you know the seduce the first Gary
rabbit says
all the rabbits were appears on on on
the balsamto from
all the rabbits are going to be appears
that means it was a real fire and their
baboon said I could bring mashiach but I
don't want other tadiq him to feel bad
they're going to say who brought you I
don't want you to feel bad that's why
I'm not bringing me sorry if Aaron
kotler once asked hey
is that he's not gonna bring him a shift
because someone's gonna feel bad a
little to the husted anthem I don't know
what you want Russia
said
Hashem is telling him go take the Jews
out of him it's Ryan they're in a
terrible suffering mushroom said no no
